Because of British Columbia’s mountainous terrain, much of the water in the province moves down-hill, tumbling and turning towards the sea. Moving water contains a variety of life from the larval stone-flies, mayflies and caddis flies that cling to rocks to the Harlequin Ducks that court and nest along fast-moving mountain streams. There are over sixteen thousand lakes in the province. On an imaginary canoe trip around a lake, the authors introduce us to cattails and bulrushes, Spotted Frogs and Western Toads, and, of course, the rich bounty of insect life, including jewel-like dragonflies. Last, but not least, there are the bogs and fens of the province, filled with mosses and other plants, and the hot springs scattered through-out the mountains of British Columbia.
